SONM team said something about chainging something on the dividents system ?
IMO replacing the divident system only to go on bittrex is a bad close term idea. I bought SONM for long term and for its dividents, if they change their idea I can probably sell it like ICN..
I think DCORP made a great solution for that problem, they will split their coin DRP to DRPS (with dividends) and DRPU (without dividends, but double of voting power on the Voting Platform which will be released later this month) to get conform with the exchanges and SEC. Holder will be able to switch between these tokens DRPS to DRPU (1:2) via smart contract anytime, with just a low fee.
In my opinion this solution is great to prevent not get listed on several exchanges and can be adopted from many other coins/tokens to get conform with their local laws of their county, of course with some modification because there will be additional benefit needed for the token which doesn't get dividends. May something similar is possible for SONM.
